Somewhere in the remote region, the war ends. In the midst of ruined cities and houses in the streets, in rural hamlets, everywhere where people still live, are children who have lost their homes and parents. Abandoned, hungry, and in rags, defenseless and humiliated, they wander through the world. Hunger drives them. Little streams of orphans merge into a river which rushes forward and submerges everything in its path. The children do not know any feeling; they know only the world of their enemies. They fight, steal, struggle for a mouthful of food, and violence is merely a means to get it. A gang led by Cahoun finds a refuge in an abandoned castle and encounters an old composer who has voluntarily retired into solitude from a world of hatred, treason, and crime. How can they find a common ground, how can they become mutual friends? The castle becomes their hiding place but possibly it will also be their first home which they may organize and must defend. But even for this, the price will be very high.
To this simple story, the journalist, writer, poet, scriptwriter, movie director, and film theoretician Béla Balázs applied many years of experience. He and the director Géza Radványi created a work which opened a new postwar chapter in Hungarian film. Surprisingly, this film has not lost any of its impact over the years, especially on a profound philosophical level. That is to say, it is not merely a movie about war; it is not important in what location and in what period of time it takes place. It is a story outside of time about the joyless fate of children who pay dearly for the cruel war games of adults.
At the time it was premiered, the movie was enthusiastically received by the critics. The main roles were taken by streetwise boys of a children's group who created their roles improvisationally in close contact with a few professional actors, and in the children's acting their own fresh experience of war's turmoil appears to be reflected. At the same time, their performance fits admirably into the mosaic of a very complex movie language. Balázs's influence revealed itself, above all, in the introductory sequences: an air raid on an amusement park, seen in a montage of dramatic situations evoking the last spasms of war, where, undoubtedly, we discern the influence of classical Soviet cinematography. Shooting, the boy's escape, the locomotive's wheels, the shadows of soldiers with submachine guns, the sound of a whistle—the images are linked together in abrupt sequences in which varying shots and expressive sharp sounds are emphasized. A perfectly planned screenplay avoided all elements of sentimentality, time-worn stereotypes of wronged children, romanticism and cheap simplification. The authors succeeded in bridging the perilous dramatic abyss of the metamorphosis of a children's community. Their telling of the story (the scene of pillaging, the assault on the castle, etc) independently introduced some neorealist elements which, at that time, were being propagated in Italy by De Sica, Rossellini, and other film artists. The rebukes of contemporary critics, who called attention to "formalism for its own sake" have been forgotten. The masterly art of cameraman Barnabás Hegyi gives vitality to the poetic images. His angle shots of the children, his composition of scenes in the castle interior, are a living document of the times, and underline the atmosphere and the characters of the protagonists. The success of the picture was also enhanced by the musical art of composer Dénes Buday who, in tense situations, inserted the theme of the Marseilaise into the movie's structure, as a motive of community unification, as an expression of friendship and the possibility of understanding.
Valahol Europaban is the first significant postwar Hungarian film. It originated in a relaxed atmosphere, replete with joy and euphoria, and it includes these elements in order to demonstrate the strength of humanism, tolerance, and friendship. It represents a general condemnation of war anywhere in the world, in any form.
那是一个惨绝人寰的世界，也是一个凤凰涅槃的世界
感觉可以二刷三刷的电影看多少遍都不会腻，虽然剧情不会变，但每次看都有不一样的感受，一开始不理解男主为什么执意要回藏区，后来才明白，这是他内心的坚持和心之所向
最近突然很能明白这种感觉，林克莱特怀念那个时候的美国，就像我怀念2008一样。我们长大之后就发现这个世界好像越来越坏，每个人眼中最好的世界也许都停留在了他们的少年时代。
立意不错，整部电影都突出大爱和牺牲，没有小情小爱的纠结狗血，这点好评。
面对如此艰苦的环境，韩松坚持了下来，从而有了后来的孩子们的成长。从这部电影中我们看到了纯朴的藏民们的善良与坚守。在这个物欲横流的年代实在是难得可贵！
好看也轻松的很 但是从某种程度上来说 充满了辛辣的讽刺
林克莱特拍动画片有点像岩井俊二拍动画片，如果不是动画可能效果更好，但属于他们的特有的趣味和浪漫也没有被体裁掩盖。
4.5/5 满满的怀旧元素！加上探月的时代背景，太喜欢了！
六十年代的美国风土人情和人类首次次登月的豪情跃然屏幕，怀旧和青春励志完美的融和在一起，还是卡通片，非常值得一看。
60年代火箭城美国少年们的日常。海滩、太空乐园、电视节目，太空梦。结合阿姆斯特朗登月。
为什么到最后韩老师一辈子也结束了呢，我多希望他跟女主能安静的享受一下晚年生活，操劳了一辈子啊
《藏草青青》，爱奇艺最新上映的网络电影，讲的是上个世纪90年代一位年轻的教师到西藏去支教，最后扎根西藏帮助很多学生走出去的故事。
可以加入导演的“爱在”系列，就叫《爱在无忧年少时》
无论是不是太空时代，人们永远都在探索内心的宇宙，永远会怀念那些热情洋溢的琐碎时光。
月球漫步与小孩的童年回忆 游乐园真好玩 这么多孩子的家庭
原来是爱在三部曲的导演，废话真的是有够多的，流水账叙事直逼小学生日记水平。
The golden years always in the past.
相当感动！《加加林》的一体两面，登月是辅，私人旧忆是真，和《少年时代》般私人且无比真诚的时代记忆，板画风的美式主旋律对应60s的国家宣传，林克莱特娓娓道来鼎盛时期的美式社区生活，这个时代人人在科学幻想的氛围中畅想未来，也在不完善的社区生活中探索，纵使文化差异阻隔了情感上的代入感，但孩童视角的别出心裁仍把这种深情推向共识的高度，同时也褪去了冷战的阴影，让记忆更为深刻纯粹，纵使我们不曾在那时经历太空气氛的氤氲或潮流文化的熏陶，但能在疫情压抑下体验导演的童年，沉浸一刻轻松氛围，也算乐事一件。
我最熟悉的恐怕只有餐桌上一闪而过的以啄木鸟形象包装的玉米片了…有点像是有真人转为动画的画风，风格还挺独特的。
为什么要把女主的哥哥写死呢？女主这一辈子感觉也没过上什么特别幸福的日子，好不容易和男主在一起了，到最后却连个孩子都没有
